Am new, too -- any suggestions about the social aspect

Not sure about the demographics about the site. I am 54 and have tried just about every reasonable and irrational methods of losing and keeping off any weight loss. I know what I need to do. I need to keep my motivation bolstered. Anyone know the feeling? Recently, I lost 40 pounds by "stopping the diets". However, I have gained 4 pounds back. I am heading in the wrong direction when I have over 100 pounds to go! I am more than willing to share my strategies with anyone who wants to listen. I am also willing to listen to any strategies other people want to share.:smile:

  • Hey Im new on here too, ive been using MFP on my phone just never signed in on line, My aim is imitally to lose some lbs before going on a walking holiday next month. My aim was a stone, 7lbs gone already. Once the holiday is over I intend to keep going. I want to be a normal weight, not overweight. I saw myself in a photo recently and didnt like what I saw. I find it easier to lose weight if im doing it for a reason i.e. special occasion, so once my holiday is over I need to have another reason.
